Running All Night

Uriah Heep · Other Songs - Uriah Heep

I've been waiting for my lady

One hour, she finally came

She came walking by my table

And I'm thinking, what's this fox's game



To be honest, I was ready

To play that white witch's game

And I knew that she was ready

To cut loose on the town and meet

Somebody new for a change



When you're running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion



I may not recall exactly

How I got her to sit down

She was sitting at my table

And I'm making out like a clown



Oh, she'll make me very happy

When she showed her fallen again

And I knew that she was ready

To cut loose on the town and meet

Somebody new for a change



When you're running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion



Rock 'n' rollin' ladies

Good life to the games you can't win

We'll drink right at my table

And we'll talk till it's time to go in



This could be something heavy

If only you'd show me a sign

And something says you're ready

To cut loose on the town and meet

Somebody new for a change



When you're running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion



Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion



Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion



Running all night with the lion

Running all night with the lion
